Doors Hung Properly, Not Just Fitted
A door hung slightly out of square is one of the most noticeable jobs in a house, sticking on the frame, uneven gaps, handles that never quite line up. LMF Joinery measures each opening properly and hangs doors square and true, whether that's a simple oak-effect door or a period-style panelled door, adjusted so it closes smoothly every time.
Architrave is fitted to match, so the finish looks complete rather than a door dropped into an opening, and handles and hinges are fitted as part of the job. It's the same attention to detail that runs through every LMF project, whether it's one door or a whole house of them.

Common questions
Internal Doors FAQs
Can you fit doors I've already bought?
Yes, doors already sourced can be fitted, or doors can be supplied and fitted as part of the job if that's easier.
Do you fit architrave to match the door?
Yes, architrave is fitted to match so the finish looks complete around the frame, not just the door itself left in a bare opening.
How many doors can you fit in a day?
It varies depending on the door style and whether any openings need adjusting, but a realistic timeframe is given as part of the quote rather than a rough guess.
What does it mean for a door to be hung square?
A door hung square sits evenly in its frame with a consistent gap all the way around, so it closes smoothly without sticking or needing to be lifted or slammed. A door that isn't square usually rubs on the frame in one spot, or leaves an uneven gap that's obvious once you know to look for it.
Can architrave be fitted to match my existing skirting?
Where possible, architrave is chosen or matched to sit well with existing skirting, so the two finishes read as part of the same scheme rather than looking mismatched. An exact match isn't always available on older properties, but a close, complementary profile usually is.
Is hanging an internal door a DIY job?
A straightforward door in a square, undamaged opening is within reach of a confident DIYer. Openings that have dropped, twisted or been poorly cut for a previous door are harder to get right, and a door hung slightly out of square is one of the most noticeable mistakes in a house, which is why many people have it done professionally.
How do I choose the right joiner for internal doors?
Ask how openings are checked before a door is hung, since squaring up an opening properly is what separates a door that closes smoothly for years from one that starts sticking within months. A joiner who fits architrave as standard, rather than treating it as an optional extra, generally finishes to a higher standard.

What to expect
Before Any of That Starts
A free quote sets out whether doors are being supplied or just fitted, so there's no confusion about what's included. Openings are checked for square before any door is hung, since that's what determines how the finished job closes and sits. Offcuts and old ironmongery are cleared away as the job goes, and each door is checked for a smooth, even close before moving on to the next.
